Bynes is more of a run Stuffing LB who will play between 30 and 40% of the time.(think Malulaga) While Vigil is a 3 down LB who is best at being a backup.
Bynes is actually pretty dang good in coverage too, so I don't understand saying Vigil is a 3 down LB and Bynes isn't.

Now if a team is running 11 personnel like they do 60% to 70% of the time in the NFL now you would be asking Bynes to play more man coverage against RBs and TEs which is his weakest area.
Bynes is a solid veteran you will be able to get 40%ish defensive snaps as J24 mentions above. He will play well while teaching the younger Linebacker core the how to prepare and play as a professional.
It was a very smart signing by the Front Office.
This.
